The upcoming extension pack for Elden Ring, the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, is rumored to revolve around the character of Miquella. Players hope this turns out to be true as they gear up to learn more about Malenia’s twin brother, who was born with the curse of eternal youth.
However, a theory proposed by some predicts that the DLC might be much more than just the journey of Miquella. As implied by the YouTuber, The Inhuman One, Shadow of the Erdtree can include the return of the first-ever demigod to be killed, Godwyn the Golden.
It is a known fact that Miquella was a good companion to Godwyn the Golden, as they were step-brothers. He even tried to give him a true death as only his soul was taken away, and his body remained intact, but he failed to do so. The following theory suggests how we might be seeing a return of Godwyn in the upcoming DLC.
Insane Theory Predicts The Return Of Godwyn The Golden In Elden Ring
The aforementioned YouTuber revealed how the key art for the upcoming DLC reveals what seems to be Miquella on the Torrent amongst a wheat field. The character is also shown to be facing what seems to be the burned-down Erdtree after the events of Elden Ring.
All of this alludes to how the ash of the burning Erdtree has covered the sky, blocking the sun and the light coming from it. This in turn allows Godwyn, the prince of death himself, to spread his deathblight under the ashes of the Erdtree and without any light, eventually returning his soul to his body.

For now, not much is revealed about the character of Godwyn, except for the fact that he was the firstborn to Queen Marika and Godfrey. It was also his death on the Night of Black Knives that acted as the trigger to the shattering, launching the world of the Lands Between into chaos.
Will There Be A New Secret Ending In Elden Ring?
For now, there are 6 endings that a player can achieve in Elden Ring. However, fans have started speculating that we might soon see a new ending, consisting of Miquella’s quest to usher in a new age.
It is known that Miquella is the son of Queen Marika and Radagon, making him an empyrean, as his parents are halves of a single empyrean entity. This makes him eligible to be able to become the god of the new age, something many consider he was planning to do.
